Everything here is on a unique scale, from its narrow dimensions (one of Africa's slimmest parks) to the majestic presence of the Great Rift Escarpment towering over Lake Manyara's western boundary. The park's centerpiece is a shallow salt lake that fluctuates in size with the seasons, hosting thousands of wading birds, including flamingos and an impressive array of over 500 bird species.

As you explore the park, anticipate sightings of baboons and elephants within its dense evergreen forest, and keep a keen eye out for the renowned tree-climbing lions that have gained fame across Africa.
